Friends, comrades, brothers and sisters in arms, I have a revelation for you.

For too long now we have been focusing our anger, our bile, our bloodthirsty vitrol onto the only person we can. I of course, am talking about the customer. We have turned fighting with them over piddling amounts of money into the glorious sport of kings. We have become truly masterful at the art of saying no. But I must ask you, why?

Why must we lash out at the customers? Let us think about this matter and consider the recent changes in the wind. Consider, my fellow representatives, how we used to live in happier times. Ever since November 14, 2004 a dark cloud has hung over all of our heads. And we were tragically forced to learn that the grass was ...

Don't bother giving out credits to get back at Cingular, go one up on them and do what is right for the customer, if Cingular does something that is not ethical, fix it. If a rep does something that is not in the best interest to the customer, fix it. Do the best that you can for every customer you talk to. Read your P&P's, fallow your P&P's, it is amazing the things you can do for customers. Look over their plan, look into different options for them, you are the one that they are looking to when they need help and customer service. If they are not happy find a common ground to stand on and then be (the terrible word) proactive, educate the customer. An educated customer is your best friend. One last thing, if you want to get back at...

I'm outsourced, so the odds of that happening are somewhere between world peace breaking out and seeing Stephen Harper at a gay pride march.

But otherwise, you're spot on, lad.

I agree, it's time we stabbed back at the very thing that has made most of us unhappy with this job. I enjoyed AWS and the trust and adjust policy, I fought so hard to save the company it's money when the customer was clearly wrong. When the customer was right, I fixed the mistake fully.

When they wanted to upgrade, we had the option of looking at their value and applying credits, if we felt like it, to reduce their costs in getting a new phone. The promotions we could offer was both good and bad but non-the-less, I enjoyed renewing a contract for a customer just to give them more minutes for their current plan.

The Orange beast has made it hard for customer to switch to it's side, the Dark Side. They have been trying to redeem this ra...

Cingular has already changed bill adjustment policy several times it will change again. Plus I doubt Kathy Dowling is haking because of the revolution that you guys are starting. You work for Cingular you have to follow policy or leave that is the bottom line.

We are following policy and using the loop holes we have. I had a customer want a free phone, I obviously cannot accommodate so I sent over to Save Team, they stated they could offer.

Somebody didn't have their coffee this morning. It's obvious that Cingular is handling the merger wrong. I get yelled at every single day by a customer that is unhappy about it, and read a new post every hour about a bad experience. I'll join the revolution..not only to get back at Cingular, but to do what is right for the customer within all means I have been given.

I have posted a lot about my own situtation. I will probly be laid off due to this merger. Nobody is saying that I will be laid off but my managers know a lot more than they are telling us reps. What I am saying is I will take my paycheck and do my job. Protocol is not a problem for me becuase if I can justify it I will do it.

Awwww come on Comrade simplymarcus, you know you wanna join our subersive little underground Revolution.

After all the merger shenanigans the Great Orange Satan has inflicted on the lot of us, we could use a bit of giddy fun.

If you join now, we'll give you a free Leon Trotsky bobble head. 😉

Ya know, I wouldn't switch to Cingular if it were on peach-mango cobbler bread toast, but I would certainly dig on a Trotsky bobble-head, that would be the shiznit! 🤣

I've joined the ranks of your revolution years ago.
I continue fighting for customers and giving credits where I deem appropriate.
As long as I notate enough, I'm covered.
I've never been talked to or written up yet.
